Is this considered poetry?

I was counting the seconds until the day was over. I promised I wouldn't look back. I of course lied.



Crash. Bang. Boom. Crash. Bang. Boom.



The sounds were drowning out my thoughts of you. I was glad. Music always made the pain go away. At least for a little while. But it wasn't just music. There was one person, who actually blocked you out of my memory for a while. But just like you he left. And here I am thinking of you again.



Three Mississippi

Four Mississippi



I wonder if you realized it's been a year since we talked. A year. One year can change many things. Sadly i'll never know what it changed for you. But that's okay I can imagine, you always said I was good at that. You smelled of cigarettes and had piercing daggers in your eyes. Maybe thats why I liked you, because you were not the typical fresh cut guy. But I should have known if you looked like danger then you were danger. Not that you didn't warn me, but who listens to warnings anyways? I didn't.



Five Mississippi

Six Mississippi



Gosh why won't the thoughts end. I'm tired of thinking of you, of lying to people. My smile can only stay a while. But thats okay because I know I hurt you, and that makes me a little bit happier seeing as you hurt me too. But that's what we do isn't it? In some twisted way. We love hurting each other. The more pain the better. Everyone thought we hated each other but we didn't, in fact we loved each other. Didn't the tears and fights prove that? The black circles under our eyes not from punches but from staying up all night screaming. You would think they would understand.



Breathe in, Breathe out.

Breathe in, Breathe out



They never did though, we were the only ones who understood each other perfectly. which is why you left a year ago to this day. Because goodbye was the strongest I love you we could think of. So goodbye my love, I promise to never think of you again only every second of every day.




I mean it'd have to be in a different format, but would that work?
